The paper develops a stochastic HH model to study intrinsic ionic mechanisms driving spontaneous firing in spPVINs, revealing how Ih and noise contribute to irregular bursting and circuit inhibition.

This study identifies astrocytic FMRP loss as the cause of spinal parvalbumin neuron dysfunction in FXS, revealing astrocyte-dependent circuit disruption.

This study shows that mouse dLGN has systematic visual field biases in feature selectivity, influenced by cortical feedback.

This study shows that serotonin from dorsal raphe neurons regulates visual attention in mice by modulating neural activity and behavioral performance.

This study identifies cadherin 4 as a key molecule for layer-specific targeting of retinal ganglion cells in sublaminae 1 and 3a, affecting their connectivity and visual responses.

The paper investigates dendritic spike generation in prefrontal cortex neurons of Fragile X mice and finds impaired sodium channel function leading to altered input-output transformation.

This study develops a behavioral task to measure spatial and feature-based attention in mice using reverse correlation, showing attentional tuning improves with training and approaches ideal observer performance.
